The bar staff at check-in were friendly. The rooms are upstairs in old characterful Essex pub in a pretty village. There are only four parking spaces which were taken so we parked behind the local co-op a short walk away.
The room itself was small but clean and well equipped. However, the biggest issue is the lack of ventilation in the room which was hot and airless without the radiator being on. We had to have the fan on all night (in December) as couldn’t open the window and the extractor in the bathroom did not work.
This is the second time we have stayed here to visit family. The first time was a few years ago in a different room which was also extremely hot and airless. Sadly, we wouldn’t stay again.
Good staff and friendly too. Lots of options to choose from for type of room required. Wes and June do an amazing job all round including food, entertainment and accommodation.
The hotel was lovely and clean. We can't remember the ladies name that checked us in but she was ever so polite, she also ran the bar, took our food order and cleared the tables as well. She was amazing at her job. The meal we had was great and very reasonably priced. Would definitely stay here again
Honeymoon suite superbly comfy. Spotless and stylish. Shower could do with an overhaul but plenty of hot water. Very helpful staff and warm welcome. Great stay. Thank you
A value for money, spacious, clean and well appointed room in an old pub. Our room had a bath as well as shower. Good pub food. Staff were friendly and efficient.
It is an old pub so it has steep stairs, creaky floorboards and some noise from patrons but that comes with the venue. Free parking was available but limited parks at the pub itself. Would definitely stay again if in the area.
Unusual and quirky room.Decorated really well.Above a pub but quiet. Only quibble, no one around when checking out as pub closed at 10 am.No instructions where to leave the keys.Had to leave them in the door lock.
Great room, loved the décor, bed comfortable and great value for money. Ease of registering, staff friendly and polite. My room had a fridge, which is so helpful. Despite and event on below my room, I heard nothing, really quiet. I booked due to location for my work, will definitely be booking again.
Only downside: parking, due to working late, the car park was busy twice, the first night a customer in the bar offered to move her car and the second evening the owner moved their car for me to park - as I said amazing venue. I believe if you arrived at a normal work time, this would not be an issue.
No food Monday or Tuesday, the only food available is a Chinese in the village that doesn't take card (cash only).
Not sure about other rooms but room 4 the Internet is terrible on all the networks and no phone signal either.
Room is not made up or restocked during the day.
The pub car park is small and the patrons seem to abaddon their vehicles all over the place which mean you can't get parked. There is a fridge in your room🌟
Would I stay again 🤔 doubt that very much. I wish the owners well but lots of niggles that mean your stay ends up unsatisfactory.
Parking was difficult, the pub operates until midnighton weekends with plenty of street noise and activity. My room had no heavy duty curtains to block the outside light.
